Long an associate of the Royal Shakespeare Company, American
playwright Richard Nelson has been praised by critics on both sides
of the Atlantic, and has been awarded the Olivier Award for his
play Goodnight Children Everywhere and a Tony Award for his
adaptation of James Joyce's "The Dead." Included in this volume are
his latest play, Madame Melville, which received rave reviews
during its London run starring Macaulay Culkin and Irene Jacob, and
The General from America, which ponders the emotional conflicts
that Benedict Arnold faced before deciding to hand over George
Washington to the British. Madame Melville, set in Paris in 1966,
before that city exploded in protest, presents the story of a
fifteen-year-old American, Carl, and his beautiful teacher, Claudie
Melville. The Daily Telegraph praised Madame Melville as "a play
about art, music, friendship and the irrecoverable, unforgettable
moment when an adolescent realizes that the world is full of
wonder." The General from America provides a rich portrait of
Benedict Arnold. Nelson's account of Arnold's search for love and
country, and his discovery of only compromise and despair, will
haunt readers and audiences.
